01 · Overview
What the Ryze AI Duda MCP server does
The short version
- 01The agent reads and edits Duda pages and their SEO settings, blog posts, site-wide code snippets and the content library, and publishes the site. Content Plan articles publish to the Duda blog.
- 02Three tools do it:
duda__read,duda__writeandduda__delete, on the site you choose when you connect Duda in Ryze AI. - 03Ryze AI is the best Duda MCP option for publishing SEO articles to a Duda blog, because Content Plan articles publish there; for page layout and elements, Duda’s own server lists more tools (see Compare).
- 04Connecting the connector is free. The Duda tools need an active Ryze AI plan or trial, and the Duda side needs a plan with API access.

“Duda MCP” can mean two things. Duda runs its own MCP server at https://mcp.duda.co/mcp, which Duda labels an evolving beta feature, and Ryze AI exposes Duda tools through its own connector. This page covers the Ryze AI tools and compares them with Duda’s server in section 06.

What each area covers
| Area | What the agent can do | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Page SEO | Update a page SEO title, description, noindex setting and Open Graph image. | Republish the site so the change goes live. |

| Code snippets | Add site-wide code in the header or body. | Publish the site to push it live. |

04 · Setup
Connect Duda in Ryze AI, then add the connector to your client
Step 1: connect Duda in Ryze AI
- 01In Duda, open Settings then API Access and copy the API username and API password. These are not your Duda login, and API access exists only on Duda plans that include it.
- 02In Ryze AI, open Integrations and click Connect on the Duda card.
- 03Enter the API username and API password and click Continue.
- 04Choose the Site the agent edits and publishes to, then click Save. With one site, Ryze AI picks it.
- 05If articles already publish elsewhere, choose Publish to Duda to switch new articles, or keep the current destination.
Details are in the Ryze AI help center. In the Ryze AI app chat the agent can use the new connection from your next message.
Step 2: add the Ryze AI connector to your client
| Client | Where | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Claude (claude.ai, Desktop) | Customize > Connectors > + Add > Add custom connector | Free, Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise. Free allows one custom connector. |
| ChatGPT (web) | Plugins > plus button > Add custom MCP server | Full custom MCP on Business and Enterprise/Edu. Pro is read and fetch only. |
| Cursor | mcp.json entry or the Add to Cursor link on the developers page | Cursor names no plan. |
- 01In Claude, go to Customize, Connectors, click + Add and choose Add custom connector. Name it Ryze AI and paste
https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp. - 02Click Connect, sign in to Ryze AI, tick the workspace that holds Duda and click Allow connection.
- 03In ChatGPT, open Plugins, use the plus button and Add custom MCP server, paste the same URL and choose OAuth. Business and Enterprise/Edu workspaces need an admin or owner to create it.
- 04In Cursor, add
{"mcpServers": {"ryze": {"url": "https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp"}}}to~/.cursor/mcp.jsonand sign in when asked. - 05Claude caches the tool list. If you connected Duda after adding the connector, remove the connector, add it again and start a new chat.
You can also connect Duda from inside Claude or ChatGPT with a one-time connection link. Per-client detail is in the Ryze AI help center.

09 · FAQ
Duda MCP server questions
What is the Duda MCP server?
An MCP server lets AI clients such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor call a platform through tools. Ryze AI runs a hosted one with 3 Duda tools (read, write and delete) that work on pages and their SEO settings, blog posts, site-wide code snippets and the content library, and that publish the site. It shares one URL with the other Ryze AI platform tools.
Does Duda have its own MCP server?
Yes. Duda documents an MCP server at https://mcp.duda.co/mcp and labels it an evolving feature in beta. It signs in with OAuth or an access token from Account Settings in Duda, and its tool list covers sites, blogs, the content library, stores, site stats, client accounts, Vibe sites and page elements. Duda lists tools as available on Agency and up or Custom plans.
What can the AI change on a Duda site?
It can update a page SEO title, description, noindex setting and Open Graph image, create blog post drafts with an SEO title, description, slug, tags and scheduled publish date, publish them, add site-wide code snippets in the header or body, update the content library, and publish the site. A delete tool removes a resource by path, such as a blog post or a code snippet.
Do page edits go live right away?
No. Page edits are not live until the site is republished, so ask for the site to be published after a change.
How do I connect Duda to Claude?
Copy the API username and password from Settings, API Access in Duda, click Connect on the Duda card on the Ryze AI Integrations page, enter them and choose the Site. In Claude open Customize, Connectors, Add custom connector, paste https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp, click Connect, allow the workspace and start a new chat.
Which plans does ChatGPT need?
OpenAI states that custom MCP server connections with full support are available for ChatGPT Business and Enterprise/Edu customers on the web, and that Pro users can connect custom servers with read and fetch permissions only. Write actions such as page edits therefore need a Business or Enterprise/Edu workspace, where an admin or owner creates the connection.
What do I need on the Duda side?
A Duda plan that includes API access, and the account-level API username and password from Settings, API Access. These are not your Duda login. Ryze AI also needs an active plan or trial for the Duda tools; connecting the connector is free.
Which Duda sites can it reach?
Only sites inside the Duda account that the API credentials belong to, and one site per connection. If the site you want is not listed, it belongs to a different account, so use credentials from the account that owns it. A workspace holds one Duda connection.
Can I require approval before the agent changes a site?
Yes. In Claude, set each tool under Customize, Connectors, Ryze AI, Tool permissions; the Ryze AI help center recommends Needs approval for write and delete tools. In the Ryze AI app chat, the Tool approvals picker starts on Skip all approvals, so switch it to Approve write & delete or Manual approve in the message box.
How do SEO articles reach the Duda blog?
On SEO Starter ($129/mo with a 3-day free trial), Content Plan articles publish to the Duda blog of the connected site, up to 90 articles per billing cycle and up to 3 a weekday. Choose Publish to Duda when connecting, and set Publishing mode under SEO, Preferences, Publishing to Automatic (the default) or Manual.
Why does Claude not show the Duda tools?
Claude keeps the tool list from the moment the connector was added. After connecting Duda in Ryze AI, remove the Ryze AI connector in Claude, add it again and start a new chat.
What is the Duda API rate limit?
Duda sets a hard limit of 10 API calls per second for all endpoints, with 20 calls per minute on Publish Site and Unpublish Site. Over the limit, Duda answers with 429 Too Many Requests.
